What this shows Shem's Innovation Score is 50.6/100 (top 13% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Shem?

Each dot is one of Shem’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Shem’s own 17.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shem's grants concentrate

Shem, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 38.1% of grants classified under B60K (Arrangement OR Mounting OF Propulsion Units OR OF Transmissions IN VEHICLES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Plural Diverse Prime-movers IN VEHICLES; Auxiliary Drives FOR VEHICLES; Instrumentation OR Dashb). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Shem sits between Seachrome Corporation and Sisense Ltd..

Shem's three-year grant acceleration

Shem, LLC shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
